Booker's Guide to Electronic Music

BOOKER’S GUIDE TO ELECTRONIC #1 BERLIN ISSUE

MUSIC

EDITORIAL Electronic music has a severe problem representing artists that are not male, white and heterosexual. Just like in every other field of arts and labour.

Stereotyping and individual concern of being stereotyped come to act limiting creative production and individual success. A tiny share of creative potential will get gigs, publicity, and therefore be able to gain reputation and success.

The power of interpretation of only a few music professionals determines what is state of the art and deemed successful for all other artists out there.

Gender inequality in electronic music for instance was made visible by a study published by the female:pressure database showing a massive underrepresentation of women in the electronic music world. Barely ten percent of women are represented in club and festival programmings and even less in charts and label roasters worldwide. Those miserable numbers are illustrating a profound inequality in the so called highly creative independent music industry.

This makes its creative production way less creative than its own image of itself, its reputation and how the media like to present it.

2

This study and the public debate it provoked eventually lead to the Perspectives festival. It aimed to reveal more of the variety and diversity in electronic music as well as to deepen the discussion on this problem and its possible solutions. We chose to do things differently and the music line up for our festival was assembled by artists suggested by female:pressure members located in over 56 countries worldwide.

During our lives as musicians, DJs and other music industry professionals we were again and again confronted with the claim, “there are simply not that many women in the field of electronic music” or after the female:pressure Facts study, “the percentage you see on the count equals the amount of female electronic musicians”. Not only the femalepressure.net database shows that this is not true, but so does each of our personal networks and rich environment of diverse electronic musicians. This we have compiled in the booklet you are holding in your hands.

BERLIN We hope the Booker’s Guide to Electronic Music – #1 Berlin Issue will be a great help and source of information and excellent music for anyone who is interested in more musical diversity and a more comprehensive view of the reality of electronic music.

I N T E R N AT I O N A L

Being a Perspectives festival bi-product, this very first issue is focused on electronic music acts relevant to Berlin bookers. So you are primarily going to find Berlin based artists in this booklet and only a small selection of non-Berlin acts suggested especially for the Perspectives festival. We are sure there are still many more artists not listed here and we see this project as a work in progress that will keep on constantly growing.

LIVE

This Booker’s Guide to Electronic Music is meant to be an effective tool for journalists, promoters, bookers, and other programme curators looking for electronic live acts, DJs, VJs across the wide spectrum of electronic music, and even sound engineers!
